Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 186 Shisui: Obito has gone mad, saying he wants to...

On the lakeside, Zhi Shui could not contain his excitement and joy.

"Teacher... no, senior, you've finally returned to the village."

Zhi Shui immediately stood up.

Jingyan smiled and said, "I went out for a while. Is there anything you need me for?"

"Uh, it's a private matter."

Shisui scratched his head and said, "I recently awakened my Sharingan and figured out some uses for it, but I don't know if doing this is taking a shortcut..."

He described the situation he had discovered.

Jingyan smiled after hearing this and said, "No problem. What does it matter if you know the principles and how to use chakra? What's the difference in the learning process?"

The important thing is to learn, not how to learn.

but.

At such a young age, Shisui had already awakened the Sharingan; his talent was truly astounding.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you open your eyes?"

"this……"

Shisui hesitated for a moment, then said with some shame, "Under your guidance, I discovered that the Uchiha were in danger, so I have been trying to find a solution, but I have found that there is no feasible way."

He sighed.

"I'm just a child, with little influence. My branch of the family is small and doesn't have much power."

"It's so difficult to be like you. I've been racking my brains... and I'm becoming more and more desperate."

Then, my eyes were opened.

Jingyan's lips twitched slightly.

Is this what genius is?

The way it opened his eyes was truly eye-opening for him.

but.

Being able to open one's eyes is quite an achievement, even though it seems he was the one who orchestrated this whole thing...

Jingyan listened quietly.

As Shisui finished speaking, he suddenly paused, looked at Kyohiko, and said, "I remember now! Senior, there's something I find very strange."

"What is it?"

"Obito-kun, you were on the same team as him, weren't you?"

Zhi Shui asked.

Jingyan nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Some time ago..."

Shisui recounted past events, including how Obito often went to the countryside and met an old lady there.

Jingyan listened, then frowned slightly.

old lady……

Obito often helps old ladies cross the road or go home, and helps them chop firewood and carry water, so it's not surprising that he knows a few old ladies.

What's strange is the change in Obito before and after.

"Has he already opened his eyes?"

"Yes."

Zhi Shui nodded.

Jingyan thought for a moment and said, "Do you know anything about the Second Hokage?"

"The Second Hokage? Of course, I know a little about him from my grandfather's diary."

Zhi Shui nodded.

Kyohiko asked, "Do you know why the Second Hokage is targeting the Uchiha clan?"

"Grandfather didn't know either. He only said that the second generation had his own considerations."

Shisui replied.

"I've been studying some documents in the Anbu recently, and I can tell you that the way the Uchiha clan awakens their Sharingan is related to the brain and emotions."

"The more extreme and intense the emotion, the easier it is to open one's eyes and advance. For example, you are in despair, which is a very extreme emotion."

Jingyan slowly explained some theories.

Shisui listened attentively.

After Kyohiko finished speaking, he asked, "You mean the Uchiha clan is prone to extremism?"

He tried his best to remove his own perspective and thinking, and not to consider things from the perspective of a member of the Uchiha clan.

This makes it easier to get accurate answers.

"Love, hate, despair, and so on are all extreme emotions. Gain and loss are the best ways to broaden one's horizons and advance one's career."

Kyohiko replied.

Shisui was stunned for several seconds, and then he unconsciously licked his lips.

If we analyze it this way, Obito met that old woman, and a few months later, the old woman was coincidentally killed by people from Kirigakure.

After that, Obito awakened his Sharingan, and it seems that he himself underwent some changes.

Is all of this connected?

He found it hard to believe, but upon closer examination, he realized that it all seemed too coincidental and too smooth.

The ninjas of Kirigakure...

Why kill an innocent woman?

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know yet, it's just a guess, but I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Jingyan looked at Shisui, "Keep an eye on Obito for me."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Obito is too naive and easily fooled. Moreover, from a psychological perspective, after intense emotions, it is easy to go to the other extreme."

Kyohiko replied.

His biggest worry, of course, was that Obito would be bewitched by Madara and Black Zetsu and become their tool.

and.

It's hard to say whether Obito did it "voluntarily."

Jingyan stood up, about to leave using the Thunder God Technique, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wait."

The next moment, he formed a hand seal.

A sapling sprouted from the soil in front of them, quickly transforming into a peculiar tree, and then—

The tree trunk split open, and sap flowed out.

At that moment, Kyohiko took out the scroll and quickly sealed them inside.

In addition to amber, a piece of tree bark was also sealed inside.

"It's amber. When you need it, you can use it to temporarily seal yourself or someone else, and I'll come right away."

"If you really need to use it, I suggest you seal yourself off."

Jingyan said seriously.

Shisui nodded, understanding Kyohiko's meaning.

If someone truly orchestrated and arranged this event, deliberately causing Obito to encounter various coincidences, ultimately ending and opening his eyes to this kind of situation.

The person behind him is definitely more powerful than him.

……

The secret service, the intelligence department.

Jingyan arrived instantly.

Because Tsunade was also busy, and he hadn't even looked at the intelligence reports since he returned. If it weren't for Shisui, he wouldn't have known so much had happened in the village.

"Senior Inoichi, how is it going?"

"Not very optimistic."

As Yamanaka Inoichi spoke, he handed over a scroll.

The current situation is written above.

Jingyan glanced at it.

When Tongkusa Nori received the mission, it was to attack Konoha and kill the old woman. He was thinking of killing one person and then finishing the job so he could go back and report as soon as possible.

Theoretically, it makes sense, but the task is too casual, and it just so happens to be scheduled at the exact time when both he and Minato Namikaze have left.

He simply didn't believe it when you said nothing was wrong.

"I feel their purpose is strange. Unfortunately, the knife was sent back by the other side through a spirit, which proves that they have another person in charge of covering the rear. If things go wrong, they will retrieve the weapon."

Yamanaka Inoichi analyzed.

Jingyan nodded.

"It must be the Hozuki clan. Their water transformation technique allows them to perfectly blend into the water, making them undetectable."

"That should be it."

Hai nodded.

He thought so too, but regardless of whether the other party was a member of the Hozuki clan or not, it was all for naught since they hadn't caught anyone.

The most valuable memories in the mind of the Kusanagi no Yaijin are these; the rest are things related to Kirigakure.

however.

Although Kusano Erin is an elite Jonin, he does not hold an important position in the Anbu; he is merely a Jonin who carries out missions.

Therefore, his knowledge of the village's secrets was very limited.

Yamanaka Inoichi is more inclined to—

These two were sent to their deaths!

They were clearly prepared; they didn't intend to actually come to Konoha to die, and planned to just "sign in" and leave.

result.

They hadn't expected Konoha's ANBU to deploy and react so quickly.

"The response from the Dark Division is still slow, but this is the best we can manage for now. We'll increase manpower as well and try to prevent this from happening again."

After Jingyan finished speaking, he asked, "Has this been made public?"

"No, she lives in a sparsely populated area, so not many people know about it."

Yamanaka Inoichi answered.

"Does she have any family?"

"No, they all died in the war."

"..."

Jingyan remained silent for a while, then frowned, a hint of anger flashing across his face.

He could almost be certain—

Madara Uchiha ordered his men to do it!

The Hidden Mist Village is now definitely under his control, and those two must have been guided by someone else's ninjutsu.

otherwise--

Why did they specifically attack this old woman?

but.

Konoha's patrols are still strong, and Rin spends most of her time at Konoha Hospital, so she rarely has the opportunity to go out.

This also reduced the likelihood of her being attacked.

otherwise--

Nohara Rin is the perfect target.

Jingyan's mind raced.

Madara wants to abduct Obito, but he's deliberately avoiding me, so he'll definitely make his move during the few days I'm away.

Obito may have already been affected by the technique!

……

Uchiha clan.

Looking at the streetlights, Obito felt a sense of loss.

"Are you really leaving?"

"Of course, do you want to give up?"

"No! How could that be? No matter how powerful a person is, they can only suppress one era and cannot achieve lasting peace."

Obito shook his head, a resolute look flashing across his face. "History has proven that our ancestor was right, and it was Hashirama Senju who was wrong."

The word "斑" has a deep, resonant sound.

"There is no right or wrong in the exploration of peace, and I may not be right either, but... someone should walk this path."

"What about the other you?"

"I don't know, maybe there's a problem, or maybe he's just getting old."

Madara replied, "I am an energy cluster. In a sense, chakra will not disappear as long as it is not dissipated, while he is a complete life form that will experience birth, aging, sickness, and death."

"He's getting old..."

Obito calculated the time and understood what the other party meant.

If Madara Uchiha were really alive, he would be very old now; even the most powerful person will grow old.

"Perhaps it is the blessing of our ancestors that allowed them to give birth to me, and then I met you."

"Ban" chuckled softly, "You will be hope."

"Me?"

Obito was bewildered.

hope……

No one had ever said this to him before, except for his grandmother and another "old lady".

They both believed they could achieve great things.

Obito's eyes dimmed: "But Grandma..."

"Family and peace..."

"Madara" sighed softly, "I understand you. After all, back then, my last family member was killed by Tobirama Senju. I had no ties left, only one pursuit."

It said, "If you choose family, then take me back to the Naka River."

"Are you still able to go back?"

"There's no going back. Special circumstances are irreversible, but I can quietly disappear over there."

"Spotted" answered.

Obito fell silent. He shook his head, gritting his teeth, and said, "I brought you out here, how could I let you disappear? Let's go! We'll go find the real Madara!"

"Okay, then..."

"Ban" sounded slightly joyful.

Under his cover, Obito walked unnoticed towards the edge of the clan's territory.

Just as he reached the outskirts of the village.

"Be careful!"

"What's wrong?"

Obito was surprised when a voice rang out behind him.

"Obito-kun, where are you going?"

"Still water?"

Obito turned around and saw the familiar short man from his memory. Under the influence of the lamplight, his shadow was elongated, making him seem much taller in an instant.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Zhishui, I am seeking a path to peace. Will you join me?"

"What path to peace?"

Shisui paused for a moment.

Peace……

he?

It's not that Shisui looked down on Obito, but rather that even Hashirama Senju couldn't accomplish such a great undertaking.

What makes Obito believe that leaving the village will lead to peace?

Shisui, completely bewildered, said, "Are you crazy?"

"No, I have never been clearer than I am now. I see a broad road unfolding before me."

Obito looked up at the night sky.

At this moment, "Ban" couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hurry up, don't waste time talking to him. The people from Konoha are probably on their way. If we delay any longer, it'll be too late!"

"Let's go."

Obito closed his eyes, and the thought that he might never see his grandmother again filled him with sorrow, but the thought of the "Great Road" ahead filled him with determination.

With mixed feelings, Obito vanished from the spot in an instant.

Shisui instantly moved forward and caught up with his opponent.

however.

The next moment, darkness swept in.

He was startled and immediately unfurled the scroll, forming several seals in a second, before pressing his hand onto the scroll in mid-air.

A massive amber erupted instantly, engulfing Shisui's body.

Amber quickly solidifies and takes shape after absorbing water.

The dark figure quickly retreated.

One second later, Hirayama Kyohiko arrived.

Hands form hand seals, ninjutsu transformation.

The amber melted rapidly.

Shisui gasped for breath, then hurriedly said, "Quick, hurry and chase after them! Obito might have gone mad from the immense mental trauma, just as you said."

He ultimately resorted to the phrase "he's gone mad."

Otherwise, Obito would have definitely defected, and the consequences would have been far more serious than just going crazy!

Jingyan frowned.

He discovered...

Unable to sense Obito's chakra.

"Which way did they go?"

"Over here."

Zhishui points to a direction.

Jingyan placed his hand on him: "Go to the Anbu and take this... um, you go to the Hokage Building and wait there. Just say that I sent you. Don't tell anyone that you weren't alone with the Hokage."

Zhishui hadn't reacted yet.

next second.

The Flying Thunder God Technique has already delivered him to the Hokage Building.

Immediately—

Kyohiko, having returned to the Anbu, immediately dragged Hyuga Yukima back with him.

Then, we followed the trail.

But a pity.

They couldn't find a trace of it anywhere, either in the sky or on the ground.

"Sir, shall we continue the pursuit?"

"never mind."

Jingyan shook his head.

but.

Apart from Black Zetsu, no one else has such an ability.

As expected, Black Zetsu was involved in Obito's affair.

Black and spotted.

He frowned, but in the end, it was still Obito.

the difference is.

This time, Obito didn't experience death, but rather a complete defection.

Because he had no chance of dying.

Compared to "death," Obito, who had defected, had no way back; all he could do was keep moving forward.

Otherwise, Black Zetsu must have a better way.

such as--

Obito was killed along with the old woman from before, and then taken away.

How are they going to handle the kaleidoscope?

Lin?

Or……

Obito's grandmother.
